Yeah, I bounced a .357 slug off of a target (I was too close, but being new to shooting, I didn't know I was too close). The bullet hit me in the abdomen - softly; I wasn't injured - and it took me a moment to figure out what had happened. I bent down and picked up the bullet and suddenly...

Yeah, so far it's a long list (including me) saying, "Say goodbye to our money." I realize it's only 90 or so people thus far, so in real terms it's a small amount of money. But it's worth commenting just to keep saying to them: "You are wrong, and we're taking away your cookies."

"I believe" confers authority to a statement that has none. He's an Important Person(TM), so what he believes is good solid believable stuff right there, man. You can take it to the bank. After all, he directs the FBI, right?

Can't carry at work, which means I pretty much don't carry at all - I spend very little time anywhere except home and work, and I'm often on the move between 'em, so...no real opportunities to carry.

And seriously, how often can the gun-owners of the country ever say that? :)

Because it's a step. MG's were never on the table, as far as I was concerned...oral arguments seemed to indicate an attempt to expand the question into MG-land, where it would have then been easier to reverse the lower court. At least, that's how i understood the discussions way back when...

Arthur, I took that to mean "arms" is a perfectly valid word to use for weapons not designed directly for military service; in other words, you don't have to be a soldier for your gun to be an "arm." Of course, i could be way off base.

Hm, it seems I did not read in detail enough - they don't explicitly state a level of scrutiny, but they refute Breyer's attempt to create a new "interest-balancing scrutiny" level. A good quote!

No explicit decision on scrutiny, from my first skim. I believe they say something like "we are criticized by [one of the dissenters; Stevens I think] for not establishing a basis of scrutiny for 2A challenges"

I demand the opinion, blogpushers! :D

Find the stall with the baby-change station, fold it out, and lay the gun there. Barring that, I tend to rest it on any stable surface inside the stall. Alternatively, cradle it in your hands and whisper to it feverishly, beads of sweat dripping from your temples. Okay, just kidding about...

The overall message I got from the statistics was "You are far more likely to die in your home than you are to kill someone invading it." I am grateful to Kellerman for that profound insight.

You might consider a different carry method - IWB holster, for instance - to separate the pistol from other materials that might be in the same pack.

It is possible that the resident in the truck did not stop (was inching forward, or something). The police officer is in front of the truck (or so it seems), so maybe he is making the universal "don't run me over" gesture. No idea what really went on there, but it's one dramatic picture.

Well, if they released two Big News(TM) opinions at once, CNN's poor "breaking news" banner would be overloaded. :D Maybe Monday.
